Hi Konstantin,

Thanks for b4 review is a great tool that I'm now integrating into my workflow
(alongside b4 for sending series which I previously... resisted :)

So maybe an edge case here, and sorry for lazy report vs. patching (just so much
to do elsewhere) but for series [0] I set a mm-hotfixes prefix via:

$ b4 prep --set-prefixes 'mm-hotfixes'

Which is a convention in mm used sometimes to highlight that a series/patch
is a hotfix.

I have the v1 tracked ([1]), but when doing an update via 'u' or 'U' in the
review tui it doesn't seem to find the v2.

To make things more complicated, I sent patches separately previously ([2]
and [3]) which I decided to combine into the series sent in [0].

$ b4 --version
0.15.2

Thanks, Lorenzo

(And yes I am using b4 review to track my own series as well as reviews :P
makes it easier for me to keep track of what I've sent also :)
